why doesn't this regular expression get recognized by codeigniter's router - El Forum - 09-24-2012
[eluser]codeigniterzzz[/eluser]
I have this route:
Code:
$route["((parameter|type|something)-([0-9]+)\/)+"] = 'somecontroller';
so when i test the url with this:www.somewebsite.com/parameter-1/
codeigniter returns with a page not found error. But I tested the regular expression here:
http://rubular.com/
and it seems to work perfectly fine.
I have also tried putting the leading/trailing /'s:
Code:
$route["/((parameter|type|something)-([0-9]+)\/)+/"] = 'somecontroller';why doesn't this regular expression get recognized by codeigniter's router - El Forum - 09-24-2012

- is a special character in regexp code. You need to escape it using \ otherwise regexp will interpret it as a spacer defining a range from
parameter OR type OR something to (range from 0 to 9 multiple times)
Maybe try a slightly simpler code
Code:
$route["(parameter\-([0-9]+))"] = 'somecontroller';parameter-1, paramter-2, ... to somecontroller.
And then add further options on the first part (replace parameter with (parameter|type|something))
